Apple's Online Store Goes Down Amid New iMac and iPad Rumors

[Squuiid]

Let's hope it is updated iMacs. They're currently the oldest they've ever been.
Store definitely down in UK.

Come on Apple... new budget iPad, make it a good one!

The $329 iPad is already a helluva device at a great price. There's not much to complain about for an Apple product.

Or do you mean a truly budget tablet like a $60 Kindle Fire? Those are trash... (I bought one...)

It's only when I click Buy on iMacs that I get the store down page...

It's down for everything, try it for all other products. Same screen

...Or maybe the Apple store has simply been hacked.

Where do you live?

USA. I see a new announcement about the 3/25 keynote and some other new graphics and announcements but that's' it. Not even sure if any of that is new as I've not looked there in a while.

Nice morning surprise. I expect AirPower, maybe new AirPods, red iPhone XS, possibly even additional XR colors. I would also like to see an iMac redesign but I feel like macs will be released at WWDC

 

[MoreRumors?]

It’s done to build hype.

I think you're right. No reason to take down other product lines that we're not expecting updates on.

Have you tried going to a buy page? So click on buy, and then you get a store down page? or is it fine?

If I open the buy page on the US sites it is down like mine.
You only see the message if you try to buy something, any product.

Oh no no , I mean a 2019 version of the £329 iPad (it's conveniently 329 GBP here in the UK too! lol)

Not anything wrong with it, just if I get a 2019 model that's theoretically an additional year of fast-running software!

EDIT: I was wrong, it's £319 in the UK !

Yep it's down.

 

[Marco Klobas]

The store loads fine for me and there are no new products. Am I missing something?

Try to buy something. You should get the coming soon Apple.

I think you're right. No reason to take down other product lines that we're not expecting updates on.

But if only iPad / AirPods etc were down we'd know exactly what we're getting though

Maybe Apple has gone out of business?

 

[aibo82]

iPad mini pro!! £1200 and mini pencil £180 woooo

 

[jimothyGator]

Why would we want that?

To match the new Apple Watch band colors, duh!

 

[Donka]

No idea on iPads but new iMacs incoming. Same design unfortunately, but with updated 6 core CPU and Vega GPU options.
Also keep an eye on the Refurb store for current gen iMacs if you are looking for a bargain on a 'new' quad iMac.

I remember when they refreshed the iMac and MacBook Pros with this 'silent' update. So hopefully we'll see something interesting.

Google bought it and shut it down

 

[mdellepi]

Sorry, my fault. I had just decided to pull the trigger and buy a 2018 MacBook Pro...

 

[micluk146]

I hope new iPads are coming. My old friend (iPad 3 from 2012) needs to retire

20% more expensive

Wait, does it mean the store won’t be back up until 25th (26th in Asia)? That’s crazy even by Apple standard.
